Self Storage Group Development to Convert Six-Story Building in Connecticut

Self Storage Group Development LLC (SSGD) has broken ground on a six-story building conversion in Bridgeport, Conn. The company purchased the former home of Connecticut Limousine for $2 million and will turn the building into a modern, multi-story self-storage facility.

The building will be SSGD’s ninth self-storage facility and is likely to have three to five employees, said Gerald Cohen, development manager. The conversion is scheduled to be completed next spring.

The property is in a portion of the city that has been revitalized by redevelopment over the last several years. However, the self-storage conversion reportedly will be the first construction project on this particular portion of Commerce Drive in 30 years. The building has been vacant for several years.
